New evidence outlined in today's article reveals that even large manufacturing firms in Uganda resemble groups of self-employed workers. Limited labour specialisation is a pervasive feature of this sector, even among firms that are large enough to specialise.

Can a communication skills training targeting mothers strengthen their influence over investments in child health and nutrition via assertive dialogue with their husbands? Evidence from Uganda povertyactionlab.org/evaluation/com…

Hi #EconTwitter, excited to see the summary of my paper in VoxDev. By restricting access to finance to low-ranked castes, the caste system in India exacerbates resource misallocation and creates significant economic losses that are relevant at the macro scale.

📢Our paper on "Understanding Child Sex Trafficking Using Victim-Level Data" is forthcoming in EDCC. The fieldwork for this paper was one of the toughest in my life, and I am glad the paper is out, and the world will learn so we can try to change. journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/73…

To sum up: a large unconditional cash transfer in Brazil increases women's employment by allowing them to pay for kid's schooling items, and to free up time for work. The effect is larger in poorer areas and has complementarities with local public good provision. (11/13)
